I haven't even played any rejet games yet (just a drama CD though; DEADLY. rejet is DEADLY), but I seriously cried when I saw the PV this morning. Oh my god, I could not handle it.

HELP _(:3」∠)_

I hope there's an actual route though, unlike most otoge being adapted that go for the harem route. Please, please! >.<
I'm actually excited. ; U; I can't wait!

Looks interesting.

Is that person with blue-ish hair in the middle who's at a lower height than the others one of the six brothers or the heroine? Because they're goddamn adorable.

I know that these adaptations of girl's games are pretty awful but I really hope that we get to see this in the states. I might not watch the whole thing but hopefully Aksys will see that there is an anime adaptation and decide to try and release this game state side.

This is one of the most disturbing otome games which have been made recently. BDSM, beatings, screwed up people...

TV anime or OVA? Whatever it is, this time do a PROPER JOB of animating it, Otomate.

Regarding the fandisc, OMFG! 4 of my UBER fave seiyuus all in one game? KYAAAAAA!

I agree. This game was too much for my little heart to handle. Seriously. Embarassed Embarassed Embarassed

inb4 this turns out to be a train-wreck of an anime.

What till you see what he's actually like though /laughs/ He's one of the brother. His name is Kanato. I hated his drama CD... ahaha....

I haven't played it myself but there must be something aside from that there must be something that made people enjoy it... (Well... Japan's girls are Rather Do-M so...) Like if the plot is good then it can still be enjoyable /looks over to Black Wolves Saga/.

I think alot female otaku like this kind of anime. It's awful for guys, sure. But they are not making this kind of game/anime for them.

Other than Vampire, I don't think this is similar to Vampire Knight.

They could at least get the seiyuu right

THE PROPER SEIYUU-CHARACTER MATCHINGS ARE:

Shū (voiced by Kousuke Toriumi)
Reiji (Katsuyuki Konishi)
Ayato (Hikaru Midorikawa)
Kanato (Yuuki Kaji)
Raito (Daisuke Hirakawa)
Subaru (Takashi Kondo).

Also a public warning:

If you don't go into this with a intense sense of self-preservation and go in thinking it's anything like Twilight or Vampire Knight

God pray for your souls

One does not simply get a lighthearted Rejet product

I know people who've played rejet games, (and though I'm pretty much -still- an outsider) these people go into their games but don't come out unscathed (at least physically-fine, yes...but I mean, EMOTIONALLY SCARRED, NOPE. Won't come out unscathed. LOL)

I think if you're ready to be a do-M, yes, let it be known that getting into anything rejet...you will never be able to live it down. EVER. LOL (my experience is just from a drama cd, see? But they've grasp onto my heart, and won't let go. STOP, REJET PLS)
Also, it would be nice if this anime gets Aksys's attention and decide to localize DiaLovers. But I'm not sure the Western world - that are fairly new to otome games - are ready for rejet games? =u=;; ehehe..... That's what I think at least... I'm not sure if I'm even ready myself, to be honest. _(:3」∠)_ It's like telling me to go walk on a wire with a blindfold on...? LMAO

I can see this being a really big hit in the USA, since both vampire boyfriends and super twisted violent dark romance are popular in our fantasy/teen novel stuff these days, and from what I've heard from some of my buddies, this cranks all that stuff up to 1000!

It was only a matter of time...

I love this otome game (Reiji being my favorite route) and can't wait!!! But, I hope they do this right. So many of the otome games being adapted into animes don't do it justice and makes feel like they aren't even trying.

I couldn't agree more!!!
If they do this right, everyone should be asking themselves WHY (unless you're already desensitized to this stuff like I am lol). But really, the game is just WTF so the anime should be at that WTF level. My expectation for this anime are pretty high so they better deliver.

I didn't realize this title was as popular as it is until I saw that Animate had to limit the number of times people could do gacha gacha.
